Hero Vida UBX Electric Bike Hero MotoCorp's electric mobility brand Vida is preparing to launch its first electric motorcycle Vida UBX in the Indian market. This bike has recently been seen during testing in India. Information about design, lighting and some hardware has been revealed from its pictures. The company introduced it in November 2026 at the EICMA motorcycle show held in Milan, Italy. According to reports, its production model may arrive in the Indian market by mid-2027. However, the company has not yet announced its official launch date.
Vida UBX was presented at EICMA 2026
Hero MotoCorp had introduced the UBX and VXZ electric motorcycle concepts during the EICMA show in November 2025. After this, in November 2026, the company showed its new prototypes. Among these, Vida UBX attracted special attention due to its sporty supermoto and neo-naked design.
The design of the bike seen testing in India is very similar to the UBX shown at EICMA. Looking at its wheel design and body profile, it is being considered as UBX. However, there has been no separate detailed confirmation from the company regarding the identity of the testing model and its final production design.
A single LED projector headlight and slim LED indicators are seen at the front of the bike. Apart from this, the instrument cluster installed at the front also seems to play the role of a flyscreen. Its front part looks quite aggressive and sporty.
These features can be found in suspension and braking system
Better hardware has been seen in the testing model of Vida UBX. It is expected to have USD (Upside Down) telescopic front forks at the front and mono-shock suspension at the rear. This setup can help in maintaining better stability of the bike on bad roads and at high speeds.
For braking, the bike is likely to get disc brakes both at the front and rear. Its battery pack can be installed in place of the engine of a conventional petrol bike. Whereas, the electric motor has been placed in mid-mounted position.
Apart from this, a single-piece seat, all-LED lighting and a differently designed swingarm can be seen in the bike. A beak-like structure is also visible below the headlight, which makes its supermoto look more special.
Expected to get TFT display and smart features
The Vida UBX prototype shows a full-color TFT instrument cluster. To control it, switchgear can also be provided on the handlebar. Important information related to speed, battery charge and riding can be seen in the display. However, information about its final software and connectivity features has not been revealed yet.
Chain drive system and wide rear tire can also be seen in the bike. Its seat and handlebar position have been designed keeping in mind daily use along with sporty riding. The seat space for the pillion appears to be a bit limited in the testing pictures.
May be launched by mid-2027
Hero MotoCorp has already indicated that the company will launch its electric motorcycle in 2027. Vida UBX is part of this scheme. However, the company has not yet officially announced its Indian launch date, price and technical specifications.
Important information like battery capacity, motor power, torque and range on full charge has also not been revealed at the moment. Therefore, we will have to wait for the actual performance and price of the bike.
Competition will increase in the Indian electric bike market
The arrival of Vida UBX may give rise to a new category in the Indian electric two-wheeler market. Currently Vida is mainly present in the electric scooter segment. Through electric motorcycles, the company will try to reach those customers who want sporty design and motorcycle-like riding position.
At present, official information related to the launch, price and range of Vida UBX is awaited. Only after the announcement of the company's production model will the picture of its market position and potential competition become clear.
